Compact ThermoVision® A40M Temperature Measurement Industrial Automation Infrared Camera
The ThermoVision® A40M infrared camera is an affordable, accurate, intelligent infrared imaging and temperature measurement camera for industrial product and process monitoring, product verification, and security applications.
The ultra-compact, rugged, A40M features high-resolution IR imaging, built-in logic, intuitive menu-driven configuration, multiple cursors and independent alarms, real-time color video output, numerous connectivity interfaces, and plug-and-play network configurations. With its family of interchangeable lenses and other accessories, the A40M system is a complete machine vision and remote monitoring solution that can immediately identify thermal problems that are otherwise undetectable.
Quickly Find Faults
Infrared thermal images quickly highlight problems and reveal conditions that simply cannot be detected by any other sensor technology. Subtle temperature variations that signal a process problem stand out clearly in a thermal image. Finding, assessing, and resolving problems early can improve product quality and save thousands of dollars in scrap or warranty expense.
Instant Non-Contact Temperature Measurement
The A40M was designed from the beginning- at the detector level- to deliver accurate radiometric imaging and repeatable temperature measurement. Each thermal image is built from 76,800 individual picture elements that are sampled 60 times per second by the camera's on-board electronics and software to measure temperature. The data can then be used by the operator to monitor or control a production process, or can be processed by the camera's on-board intelligence to autonomously generate multiple independant digital alarms or even control process equipment.
Outstanding Imaging and High Thermal Sensitivity
The A40M features an advanced, uncooled microbolometer FPA detector technology that delivers crisp, longwave images in a multitude of palettes that allow you to see temperature variations as small as 0.08°C. Real-time image acquisition at standard video rates (60 Hz) can reveal rapid, thermally transient events and generate clear images of moving objects.
Extensive Connectivity Options
The A40M is available in FireWire (IEEE 1394) or RJ-45 Ethernet models that are ideal for individual or networked multiple camera installations. Each A40M can be equipped with its own IP address allowing it to be addressed independently via its network connection. This provides instant access to A40M thermal images by any authorized user via the LAN, WAN, or the internet using a Web browser.. The camera can be configured via the network, or with its on-board soft button interface
Fast Plug and Play Setup
The A40M features plug and play setup. You can simply connect the camera to a standard monitor and immediatley produce high quality, real-time radiometric thermal images that accurately show heat patterns and thermal anomalies.
Easy to Configure and Operate
The user-intuitive A40M is extremely easy to operate. Its onboard logic and menu-driven configuration controls enables you to select and control multiple target spots, temperature range, image color palettes, multiple alarms and more, quickly and easily.
Ultra-Compact, Rugged and Lightweight
Built to operate unattended for long periods in harsh industrial environments, the A40M has an IP40 rating. Its compact design and light weight (less than 3 lbs) allows it to be mounted in hard-to-get-at locations that may be optimal for data collection. Fully configurable I/O functionality allows the A40M to be integrated quickly and easily into your control systems.
Multiple Programming Options
The A40M can be easily leveraged to control a process with LabVIEW and FLIR's LabVIEW Developers toolkit (SDK). This SDK allows programmers to access numerous measurement functions that can then be used to turn the A40M into a powerful machine vision tool with a minimal investment in machine vision software development.
Or, work in your own programming environment with the ThermoVision Systems Developers Kit (SDK) based on Active X and Visual Basic C++. The SDK provides full access to camera measurements and includes source code examples that will dramatically reduce the time it takes to program a custom solution.
